HISTOLOGYAnnouncing a New Way to Learn Histology and get Better Grades
Do you need a state-of-the-art study resource to improve the grades you receive in your Histology study?
Histology Online is a subscription-based website that:
Has comprehensive Histology Notes (over 3,000 pages), equivalent to a text book for a University level Histology course
Addresses 25 key histology Learning Outcomes including: The mammalian cell; Epithelium; Exocrine glands; Skin (the integument); Connective tissues including Cartilage and Bone; Muscle tissues; Nerve tissues (including ganglia); Brain and Spinal cord; Special senses (Eye and Ear); Cardiovascular System; Respiratory System; Oral Cavity; Alimentary Canal; Digestive Glands (Salivary glands, Gallbladder, Liver and Pancreas); Blood and Bone Marrow; Immune-Lymphatic System; Neuroendocrine System; Endocrine System; Male Reproductive System; Female Reproductive System; Urinary System.
Includes 4,569 hi resolution Histology Images
Uses visual annotations to point out specific parts of Histology Images
Provides Review Materials and Histology Quiz sections to test student knowledge
Is available to students through online subscription, with a free 3 day trial available.

Histology texts are limited in the number of colour histology slides they contain, due to the high cost of colour reproduction. In contrast, Histology Online has 4,569 hi-resolution histology images, a range far more extensive than text books. There are extensive notes on the images, clicking a linked word highlights the related part of the image with a red arrow.
Histology Online has been collated by Associate Professor Geoff Meyer of the University of Western Australia. Students of Anatomy and Human Biology at The University of Western Australia use the online resource to complete their Histology course.

Monitoring of student grades during the development and trialling of early versions of Histology Online shows student grades improve when they use the online resources.
Comprehensive Histology learning outcomes are supported by extensive assessment packages, as well as detailed visual annotations that point out specific aspects of hi-resolution images.
All content is accessed via a website. Unlike a traditional textbook in histology, content is updated to stay abreast of developments in the field of histology.
A 12 month subscription to the Histology Online resource includes:
25 modules (eg. the mammalian cell, skin, muscle tissue, respiratory system) containing over 3,000 pages. It covers the complete histological structure of the human body.
Lecture text providing a complete description of the histological structures of cells, tissues and organs within each module.
4569 high resolution images summarise structural and functional features of all cells and tissues of the organ systems.
Interactive visual annotations engage the learner to identify each structural feature.
More information links extend the understanding of each histological feature.
A “computerised microscope” simulates the study of histological slides and serves as an instructional companion in lab classes.
Extensive assessment packages guide learning objectives and reinforce retention of the learning outcomes. Quantitative evidence has proven student performance in examinations is enhanced.
